Xbox Live Problem

BFCTom · 8 Aug 2007 at 15:51

Just turned my 360 on for the first time in a week and there is an update to be downloaded for me to sign onto Xbox Live.

No problem I thought, but as it starts to download I get this error:

Can't download the update. Please test your connection in System, Network Settings and try again.

Anyone else having problems with this?
